This flying fox or zip-line across a body of water is a first for Singapore and allows the public to take part in a treetop adventure course at Bedok Reservoir Park.
At $18 for a shorter children's course and $25 for adults, Forest Adventure, which started last month, is a 1-1/2 hour series of activities; up ladders into sturdy trees, across swings up to 7m high, rope bridges and trapezes, and down the flying fox up to 180m across.

Managing director Stephanie Besse, 40, who invested about $800,000 in the project, said it was an idea she pitched to the National Parks Board (NParks). 'NParks and PUB picked Bedok Reservoir Park because it's a place they wanted to develop for recreation, and it has strong mature trees which we need for safety reasons.'
Seven instructors, who have undergone various certification courses, conduct a half-hour safety lesson before anyone gets off the ground, and ensure safety standards are adhered to. Those interested in signing up can visit www.forestadventure.com.sg
